WHAT'S U2's SONG STAY FARAWAY SO CLOSE ALL ABOUT?

After studying this emotionally challenging song, I've come to a conclusion as to what it's about!

A battered wife with a guardian angel who has come to look after her. But alas, the angel runs out of time and while flying through the air, he splats to the ground and breaks his neck!

It's a brill song, anyway.

Bono's Red Guitar, Zooropa

Really? We'll take your word for it!

YO! 'ZINE FEATURES!!

This is a simple message to all those unsuspecting folks who bought GnR's latest album Spaghetti Incident.

One of the tracks was written by Charles Manson, a brutal murderer who committed disgusting crimes.

Every time the album's bought, Manson receives yet more money. Is this the way we should really treat murderers? I think not.

SINGLE REVIEW: LINE-UP by ELASTICA

After the brilliant Stutter, this just as stunning second single comes out.

It's worth buying this if only for the hilarious bonus track Vaseline. Justine Frischmann's vocals fit well with the Suede-like guitars & cheerful melodies.

Drummer Justin Welch's peculiar retching sounds ALMOST ruin it for me, but the song's so good, I don't care!

20-Headed Monster, Brighton

Ah come on, the retching MAKES the song
